411: Chapter 411 Burial

The old village chief's expression was a bit unnatural.

He suggested to Lin Heng that he should not place the coffin in the bamboo forest on the back mountain.

The rest of the people also understood his feelings.

What landslide?

A joke!

Isn't your family's grave placed right up there?

Everyone chuckled inwardly.

However, they acted as if nothing had happened, just chuckling without saying much more.

At this moment, Lin Heng quickly waved his hand.

"No need!"

"That spot, only there can suppress it. Otherwise, there will be other dangers!"

Lin Heng said with a grave tone.

This...

The old village chief clearly hesitated.

Then, Zhou Ze quickly spoke up upon seeing the situation: "I don't think there's any problem with what Lin Heng said. What do you all think?"

Heh, who would dare to object at this time?

The police officers didn't believe in feudal superstition at all. Hearing their chief speak, they immediately nodded.

No objections.

Thus, even if the old village chief didn't want to, he had to reluctantly agree.

"Fine then, let's hurry up and get going."

He nodded somewhat mechanically, carrying a sense of helplessness.

There was no other way...

Since the other party had already said so, any explanation from him was futile.

Moreover, he guessed that even if he objected, probably very few people would stand by his side.

Now, the old village chief just wanted to settle this matter quickly and finish everything.

Because of the fraud case, they had been tense all day, and it was time to rest a bit.

Also...

He glanced at Lin Heng and Zhou Ze.

He thought, could this be something Lin Heng and Zhou Ze did on purpose?

But this was just the old village chief's private thought, and he didn't dwell on it.

They decided to act immediately!

The people present immediately mobilized.

It was already dusk; nightfall would arrive soon.

This time was just right to carry the coffin up!

The strong, lean men brought two long carrying poles and approached the coffin.

"Oh my god! It really stinks! How long has it been, and the smell hasn't dissipated yet?"

"Hey, stop talking! As soon as you talk, you inhale, it's disgusting!"

"Let's hurry up, finish, go home, wash up, and sleep."

"..."

After some discussion, everyone quickly got to work.

The coffin was already sealed, so they only needed to use some equipment to lift it up.

"Huh? Why is this coffin so heavy? That's strange??"

"This person has been dead for many years, yet it's still this heavy. Could there really be something unclean inside?"

"Whoa! What nonsense are you spouting, you jinx? It's broad daylight, don't talk carelessly! Really..."

"I think you just haven't lifted a coffin in too long, that's why you feel this way. You'll get used to it later."

"Work properly! We'll be relaxed once the burial is done."

"..."

The coffin was lifted up with a rustle, and everyone muttered amongst themselves.

Why did it feel a bit off?

But no one thought too much about it.

After all, they weren't as superstitious as before; they truly didn't believe there were any dirty things in the world.

Even if there were, it would be someone disguised as one.

The back mountain wasn't far from here; the only requirement was to walk one kilometer of mountain path.

Old Man Wang Liu's house was originally quite remote, situated halfway up the mountain, so they only needed to walk a normal distance.

However...

Even so, it wasn't until nightfall that the coffin was delivered to the small bamboo forest on the back mountain.

This was tough on Wang Liu inside.

"Damn it! Are these people professional or not! I'm truly fed up!"

"It's just over a thousand meters, and my old back is about to break!"

Wang Liu grumbled incessantly.

If it were just him, it would be fine, but he had his father with him.

Because the mountain path was bumpy, Wang Liu not only needed to control himself but also stabilize his father.

When he reached out his hand, he immediately touched some matter that had turned a disgusting black. Even Wang Liu felt a wave of nausea.

It was fortunate that he had experienced piles of dead bodies; otherwise, an ordinary person put in here would likely have been scared to death long ago.

Not to mention having to stay inside for so long!

The main reason why Wang Liu walked unsteadily was that his internal organs had already suffered varying degrees of damage, making him somewhat desensitized to the smell of decay.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stay here for so long!

Meanwhile, outside...

"Hoo... We finally made it."

The men carrying the coffin wiped the sweat from their foreheads, finally catching their breath.

Good heavens!

They had gone through several shifts of people while following that foul stench all the way here.

It was a good thing they had many people; otherwise, they couldn't have persisted until now!

Previously, one of the young lads fainted while carrying the coffin because of the corrosive gas, foaming at the mouth...

Which scared everyone into a frenzy.

However, later, Lin Heng used some unknown method and quickly woke the person up.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to continue here.

"It's disgusting! Let's bury it quickly. Honestly, if the entire village hadn't come for this matter, I would absolutely refuse to do something like this."

Soon, the last group carrying the coffin quickly fled as if escaping, breathing in the fresh air deeply.

As if reborn.

They turned to look at the coffin behind them, indicating they had never carried anything like it!

Ahead, someone had already taken the lead to dig a pit in the bamboo forest, waiting for the burial.

Finally, it was time for the last group to take action!

These people were naturally the ones responsible for sealing the lid.

Fixing the coffin board in place to prevent outside insects from getting in to gnaw at the flesh and blood inside...

Of course... there wasn't much to be particular about now, as the person inside had lain outside for so long that basically no complete parts remained...

But the required procedures could not be skipped.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The first nail was driven in.

More nails were prepared to be placed on the coffin board for sealing!

Beside them, Lin Heng watched quietly.

Su Xueer tugged at Lin Heng's clothes. She looked at the scene ahead, covering her nose, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

She asked Lin Heng: "Lin Heng, do you really understand Feng Shui?"

"I told you, I only know a little, just the surface level."

Lin Heng replied faintly.

The two chatted casually.

And just at this moment...

A commotion quickly occurred in front!
